I worked throughout England and Scotland and some parts of Europe have been a dispatch rider in London for a while. Used to shoot field target in England but no one does it here so I just plink still use a bow re curve Martin Hunter 55# mountainbike Intense and road Tommassini. Ive been working as a carpenter/foreman/superintendent and now something completely different. I teach, high school 16 to 18 years old and at risk 18 to 25 years old, carpentry and basic maths. Ex gang bangers drug addicts, special eds, learning difficulties, behavior problems all good fun. So I cant come round and fix your gate and I cant outsource too much but I may be able to track down an elusive part or obtain it cheaper. I have done this several times.
